-a couple minor spoilers here-

As other have said there's not much of a plot but then again LA has just been invaded by beings from another world... how much more plot do you really need for what's basically an old school war movie? Finally we get a flick where the invaders aren't ultra powerful and humans have a real fighting chance. I thought the battle shit was handled perfectly and the ending wasn't completely over the top as is the case with most of these kind of flicks. Outside of the kid/father thing they really stayed away from the sappy shit we usually get too. If this had been your average invasion flick the vet chick would have ended up being the main characters love interest and the "war" would have been over by the time the flick ended.

This movie knows what it is and doesn't try to pretend otherwise.
